It is hard to know what we’re going to want a month from now, much less a year, five years, or twenty years down the road. 🛣 But to avoid waking up each day and wondering “how did I get here?” 🤷♀️ or feeling like somehow life is happening to us or around us, without our input, it’s important to give ourselves some direction about what we want in life. ☑ Goals gives us direction.

Are you approaching a big life moment? Here are a few scenarios where planning ahead with advice & guidance can better position you for your future.

What does YOUR journey look like? If you haven't done so yet, take a minute and imagine with your great life journey would look like if you could have it your way. Don't be afraid to dream a little. Or a lot. Every person's journey is perfectly unique to them. So what is yours? Now what's holding you back from that journey? If you're like many, it could boil down to finances. Now for the important question: How far off are you? Do you know? Do you REALLY know? What would you need to change to get there? No promises, but you may be closer than you think. But you won't know until you map it out. Do yourself a favor and map it out. Maybe its feasible and maybe its not. But at least you'll know. The sooner you do this, the more time you'll give yourself to get there.

Planning ahead with advice can help position you to reach your goals.

What does it mean to live life to the fullest? For me, the answer became crystal clear this year celebrating my 50th trip around the sun. Turning 50 wasn’t just about reaching a milestone; it was about embracing the adventure, joy, and purpose that define a life well-lived. It was a year where I dared to dream big and live even bigger. Here are three lessons I’ve learned about living with purpose and designing a life that fuels your dreams: https://lnkd.in/gjPfqUKE #sawomanmagazine #sanantoniowomen #financialadvisor #livingwithpurpose #goalsanddreams #lifetothefullest @melindaadams

Living a life of purpose is a journey, not a destination. And it's not always easy... Imagine waking up every day driven by a purpose that fuels your passion, shapes your goals, and defines your legacy. This path is not devoid of challenges. In fact, the pursuit of purpose often leads to some of the most unpleasant experiences imaginable. (ever change a diaper? 😂) Yet, it's these very experiences that become the stories we look back on with a fondness that surprises even ourselves. Why? Because they represent growth, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of something greater than ourselves. In the realm of financial planning, living a purpose-driven life is a critical piece of the puzzle often overlooked. It's not just about securing your future financially but aligning your financial goals with your life's purpose. As we evolve, so too does our definition of purpose. What mattered a decade ago might not hold the same weight today. This evolution is natural, expected, and something to be embraced rather than feared. Navigating life's financial journey with your purpose as your compass ensures that every decision, investment, and sacrifice is a step toward a life filled with meaning and fulfillment. So, as you reflect on your life's purpose, remember that it's okay for it to change. It's okay for the journey to be hard. Embrace the challenges. They are merely stepping stones on the path to a truly purpose-driven life. -------------------------------------------- My name is @jakeheisler and I'm making an effort to post valuable, timely content here on LinkedIn.

What if ‘someday’ was today? 🚀 Imagine living your IDEAL life, not in the future, but right now! Let’s be real—how often have you caught yourself saying, “I’ll get to that someday, one day, next week, tomorrow, in the new year...”? But what if ‘someday’ never comes? I used to think ‘someday’ would just happen. Or that there would always be a better time—when things ‘calmed down.’ But here’s the truth: There’s never a perfect time. I realized I was using that as an excuse to avoid the hard part—focusing on what it really takes to get what I wanted. Everything I said I wanted was just a lot of hot air, and that did NOT feel aligned. Once I started practicing what I taught, everything changed. Without a plan, my dreams were just wishes. But once I started to do the hard work, everything changed—and life actually got easier! Looking back now over a decade, THANK GOD I DID. Financial planning isn’t about numbers—it’s about freedom. It’s about turning that dream home into your real address or retiring early to enjoy MORE TIME. Without a plan, your dreams stay just that—dreams. Or worse, they become the source of stress, as you constantly question if you’re on the right path. But here’s the good news: you have the power to change that. It just takes choosing YOU. Turn your ‘someday’ into today. Set your intentions and create the steps you need to reach them. Surround yourself with the people that can HELP you make it all happen. I WANT YOU TO MAXIMIZE LIFE AND MINIMIZE STRESS. 🎯 Don’t just let life happen to you—take control. It’s time to design your life with intention and action. What’s your next move? 💬 Are you ready to stop waiting for ‘someday’ and start living your ideal life today? Comment ‘I’m ready’ below, and let’s start planning that extraordinary life together. #financialfreedom #goalgetter #MONEYBITCH #intentionalplanning

Think about the moments when you wished you had a plan, whether it was managing your finances better, focusing on self-care, or chasing your passions. We all have those "I should have started sooner" moments, right? The good news is, it’s never too late to start. Let’s create a plan that not only sets you on the path to success but also brings you peace of mind. Imagine looking back a year from now, knowing you made the right moves today.
